This is a day at sea all our stops are now done so Jacq gets up early while Matt naps and she hangs out with Judy and Sheila by the pool.

Those two are just so much fun they are hilarious both with thick Boston accents - Judy insists Jacq tries Guy Ferreras hamburger which has a stall on the boat - it's lush! He's apparently a famous chef in America (no idea).

Matt joins us later and does his usual flirting with the golden girls - they love it (or at least pretend to) we catch up with Diane and Ronnie Staines a couple from Maryland we met the other day - really nice down to earth people who love cruising they are on their 22nd this year and another is booked for June - lucky beggars!! They are so sweet and invite us to stay with them if we go near Maryland on our travels at their beach house. Sheila also invites us to hers in Boston it's a house on a lake with a boat - how could we resist such awesome offers!!

More importantly we are so lucky we fell in with a genuinely lovely group and the week has been better for it.

It's an early night for Jacq, she does a laundry run and watches some movies and Matt checks out the band downstairs very country style. We've had a great dinner yet again of steak and chicken, the food is first class!

We come back to our room covered in balloons - a treat for Jacqs birthday?
